We're going through this right now with CDs. There was a time when
people din't have the means to make CD (or records for that matter).
The record company served a usefull purpose- making vinale records,
but now less and less people need that service- so they're going to
the law books to try to extend the life of the buggy whip
manufacturers.



Its not the CD manufacturers who are raising hell, its the publishers and the
recording artists who are being screwed by the illegal copies of CD's. Its one
thing for me to make a copy of my CD for personal use and protecting the
original from damage, its quite another to copy it to give to all my friends or
share the contents with a million other people on the internet for free. That
is denying the rightful proceeds to the creators of the work.
